, Application iiled August 30, 1898. Serial No. 689,862. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, GIULIO RUscoNI-CLE- RICI, engineer, a subject of the King .of Italy, residing at Milan, Italy, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cycles,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to bicycles; and it includes certain novel features of construction hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in Which-` Figure l is a side elevation of a bicycle involving my improvements, and Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same.

Like characters refer to like parts in both figures of the drawings.

In the drawings I have represented a bicy cle ot' the safety kind, it having a fork C2, having a spindle or stem C', provided with a head or enlargement O8, to which the bracearm F is rigidly secured and which extends oppositely from said head. A second arm is shown at F, it being loosely mounted at its middle on said spindle or stem O.

The wheel shown is for two riders, and hence two handle-bars are provided, these being denoted by G and G and having depending spindles G2 and G3, respectively, rotatively carried at the opposite ends of the arms F and F.

The spindle C has fixed thereon a doublegrooved pulley H, and the handle-bar spindles G2 and G3 are connected by bands J and J 2 with the double-grooved pulley H', it being evident that the'pulleys H and H are in the same horizontal planes as the respective sec' two oppositely-arranged seats, driving mechanism for said bicycle, a steering-fork having its spindle or stem provided with a doublegrooved pulley, one portion of which is arranged above the other, an arm loosely mounted at its middle on said spindle or stem, a brace-arm rigidly connected to a head on the steering-fork, located below said arm, two handle-bars having depending stems rotatively carried at the opposite ends of both arms, pulleys located respectively in the horizontal planes of the portionsof said grooved pulley, and bands connecting said doublegrooved pulleyl and said other pulleys.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my4 hand in presence of two witnesses.
